Once again, Market Street in Tenbury Wells has flooded.
Several shops are awash with water just 14 months after the last flood. Run-off water rushed down the aptly named Bog Lane and made it's way into the Town Centre. This water immediately ran into the brook and away. (If the Flood Wall had been completed it would have exited via the sluice valves.)
The problem has been caused by the delay in starting the wall. Rather than holding back the water as the brook level rose, it allowed the water to spill straight out into the road.
A combination of delays caused by the multi-agency involvement, and the Environment Agencies restriction on working on water course during the winter, (when the water in the brook rarely rises) meant that after more than 12 months work on the wall has barely started.
